The evening crept. All the guests arrived at the reception party. All their relatives, friends, and business associates came to the party. Mr. Shekhawat and his son Rajveer were busy attending them. Randhir got ready and went to Arpita's room.
"Aare Arpi ready nahi hui?" He asked surprisingly when Arpita looked at him.
"Ron, I am not feeling well." She said slowly.
"Kyu kya hua?" He asked worriedly.
"Saad bahut ghum raha hai." She touched her head.
"Are you okay?" Randhir caught her shoulder and she fainted.
"Arpi Arpi kya hua?" Randhir called her but didn't get any response. He made her lay down on the bed and went for help. As soon as Randhir left the room Arpita opened her eyes.
"Ab main bhi dekhti hu Ron mujhe chhod ke party mein kaise jata hai! Poor Sanyukta, ab use pata chalega Randhir ke life mein kaun jyada important hai, main yeah phir wo!" And she grinned devilishly.
Randhir came back after sometime along with Renuka and Ragini.
"Dekho na mom Arpi ko kya ho gaya hai!" He was hell worried.
"Kya hua isse, koi doctor ko call karo!" Renuka said worriedly.
"Haan main karti hu." Ragini said nervously.
"Kya hua, kaun bimar hai?" Heard a voice all turned around and saw Karan stood at the door.
"Thank god jijaji aap aa gaye, zara dekhiye ye Arpita ko kya ho gaya hai!" Randhir was hell panicked. Karan checked Arpita properly.
"Don't worry, weakness ki wajah se faint ho gayi hai, abhi hosh aa jayega." Karan assured them.
"Are you sure?" Ragini asked him.
"Aare Ragini tumhara husband doctor hai, thoda sa toh trust rakho!" He teased her. Just then Arpita opened her eyes.
"Ron..." She said slowly.
"Dekha hosh aa gaya na!" Karan said looking at Ragini.
"Hey are you okay?" Randhir asked impatiently, thus she nodded positively.
"Thank god Arpita thik hai, saare guest aa chuke hai main toh darr gayi thi." Renuka takes out a sigh of relief.
"Haan Arpita thik hai toh chalo party mein chalte hai. Mujhe Randhir ki dulhan se bhi toh milna hai." Karan said happily, thus Arpita got tensed.
"Shit mujhe kuch karna padega Ron ko rokne ke liye." Arpita said in mind. She sat on the bed but next moment held her head.
"Mera saad bahut ghum raha hai, Ron please mere paas raho. Mujhe bahut ajeeb lag raha hai." She said in a weak voice. Randhir sat beside her and held her hand.
"What happened to you! I am here Arpi, don't worry." He assured her.
"But beta party suru ho gaya hai, sab tumhe expect kar rahe honge, tumhe niche chalna chahiye." Renuka said.
"Mom yahan koi bimar hai aur aap ko party ki padi hai!" Ragini said irritatingly.
"Come on Ragini, don't be childish! Mom is right, it's Randhir's reception party, he must be there. And I told you na Arpita is much better now so don't worry." Karan said looking at Ragini.
"Okay jise jana hai ja sakta hai, main yeha Arpita ke pass rahungi." Ragini said angrily, thus Renuka shook her head.
"Okay Randhir chalo sab tumhara aur Sanyukta ka wait kar raha hai." Renuka commanded.
"Okay mom. Arpi I have to go, you just take a rest. Don't worry di hai na." He smiled at her. Listening to this, Arpita's facial expression changed.
"I am also coming with you Ron." Arpita said quickly.
"But Arpi iss halat mein!" Randhir said surprisingly.
"Don't worry Ron, I am fine now. Aur aise bhi tum saath ho toh mujhe kya ho sakta hai!" She smiled at Randhir.
"Are you sure?" Randhir asked Arpita thus she nodded positively.
"Come on saale sahab, she is fine, let's go. Mujhe aap ki dulhan se bhi toh milwau." And karan dragged Randhir with him when Arpita gritted her teeth in anger.
All came to the party, Arpita also came with Ragini. All were waiting for the new bride. Randhir is also waiting for Sanyukta to come now. And there she came along with Anjali. She was wearing a red saree with golden work on it with those jewelries looking absolutely gorgeous. She made her sindoor extra prominent. Randhir for the first time skipped a beat after looking at his wife. He remembered Arpita's words.
"She is damn gorgeous!" His inner mind said. But the next moment he scolded himself for thinking that.
"Don't forget your aim Randhir, remember why you marry her! To take revenge." He murmured under his breath and went towards Sanyukta and held her hand.
"Come on wifey I'll give you the best evening of your life." He smirked at her when she glared at him.
There Arpita is staring at Sanyukta. She watched her properly top to bottom.
"So she is the one who snatched my Ron from me! But not for so long, you bloody middle-class girl!" Arpita said under her breath.
Party went well. Kaustuki came and went towards Sanyukta. Seeing her, Sanyukta's face brightened and she hugged her.
"I am happy Kaustu that you came here." Sanyukta said, breaking the hug.
"Say thanks to her wifey dear, she at least came here, otherwise tumhare baki friends ne toh tumse baat karna hi chhod diya uss incident ke baad!" Randhir mocked her when she looked at him with hatred in her eyes. Just then Jiggy and Yoyo came there.
"Hi Randhir, hello bhabhi ji." They greeted them.
"Bhabhi ji!? Seriously? What happened with you guys! She doesn't deserve this respect and at least think about my reputation guys." Randhir smirked when Sanyukta rolled her eyes.
"Let's go guys, yaha aas paas sirf boring cheezen hai!" He said looking at Sanyukta and left from there with his friends.
"Iss ke sath tu apna pura life kaise bitayegi Sanyu? Tu sabko sach kyu nahi bol deti uss raat ke ware mein?" Kaustuki asked worriedly.
"Koi believe nahi karega Kaustu. Aur kam se kam maa, papa toh khush hai na iss shaadi se, mere liye itna hi kafi hai." Sanyukta said gulping her tears and forcing a smile as other guests came there.
Sanyukta's eyes were stuck at the entrance as she was waiting for her family. She smiled to saw her brother and little sister.
"Ankit, Sneha kaise ho? Maa, papa kaise hai, wo saath mein nahi aaye?" She asked eagerly as her eyes searched them only.
"Unhen kahi muh dikhane ki layek kaha chhoda hai tune jo ab puchh rahi hai?" Ankit replied bitterly.
"Aisa kyu bol raha hai?" Sanyukta asked slowly.
"Papa aaj bed pe teri wajah se hai aur tu hume puch rahi hai! Tune jo kiya na wo kafi hai unki jaan lene ke liye! Tujhe apni behen kehte huye bhi sharam aata hai mujhe!" Ankit continuously spat out venom.
"Main toh yaha aane wala nahi tha but maa ke kehne par aaya hu." Ankit said irritatingly.
"Maa kaisi hai?" Sanyukta asked with concern.
"Jaisa tune rakha hai waise hi!" Ankit mocked her.
"Tu kaisi hai Sneha?" Sanyukta asked lovingly.
"Thik hu di." She replied.
"Maa, papa ka khayal rakhna." Sanyukta said this and Sneha nodded positively.
"Drama mat kar, main janta hu tujhe kitni chinta hai unki, Sneha let's go." They are about to go when Sanyukta stop them.
"Thodi der ruk jao na please." She pleaded.
"Hum yeha sirf formalities nivane aaye thay wo ho gaya bass. Yaha rokne ka koi shauk nahi hai hume." Said this Ankit left with Sneha. And Sanyukta's eyes brimmed with tears which she tried to hide.
"What happened wifey, Ankit aur Sneha itni jaldi chale gaye, koi kaam tha kya?" Randhir teased her when she glared at him.
"I know wifey jab family, friends sab sath chhod dete hai toh kaisa lagta hai! You always felt alone na baby, but don't worry your husband is with you. I always take special care of you my love!" He grinned at her.
"Yeah of course!" She said sarcastically.
"You don't believe me! Baby you are hurting me!" Randhir pouted.
"Okay I can prove my love for you. I will bring a surprise for you and you will love it baby." He said in a honey coated voice.
"Surprise!" Sanyukta arched her brows.
"Yes love. And there it is." Randhir pointed at the entrance and when Sanyukta turned her face she was just stunned there.
"Samar!" Sanyukta murmured under her breath.
"Kaisa laga mera surprise wifey?" Sanyukta looked at Randhir in disbelief when he smirked at her. Samar came on the stage and Randhir hugged him.
"Thanks for coming yaar, hum toh soch bhi nahi sakte thay ke tum aayoge!" Randhir said, breaking the hug.
"Aare iss mein thanks kaisa Randhir, tumne itna request kiya toh phir mujhe toh aana hi tha." Samar said and smiled.
"Aare tumne hum do pyar karne walo ko milaya hai, hum tumhe kaise bhul sakte hai! Tum humare khushi mein samil hone aaye ho isse humari khushi aur badh gayi hai, hai na Sanyukta!" Randhir said and looked at Sanyukta when she looked away.
"Aare tum dono baat karo main baki guests ko dekh kar aata hu." Randhir said and left from there.
"Umm Sanyukta kaisi ho?" Samar approached her.
"Call me Mrs. Shekhawat. Mujhe mere naam se bulane ka haq tum kho chuke ho." Sanyukta gritted her teeth.
"Sanyukta jo kuch bhi hua wo past hai, aur phir tum bhi toh yahi chahti thi, yahi sach hai. Toh phir kyu na hum past ko bhul jaye, let's get friends." He smiled at her when she rolled her eyes.
"Sach kya hai ye kisi ko nahi pata, aur dosti wo bhi tumse! Main tum jaise spineless insaan ke saath koi bhi rishta nahi rakhna chahti. Aaj aaye ho lekin aainda galti se bhi mere samne mat aana!" She said in an icy cold voice. Just then Randhir came there.
"Kya baat chal rahi hai tum dono mein?" Randhir asked curiously.
"Kuch khas nahi, achchha toh main chalta hu. Congratulations to both of you guys." Samar said slowly.
"Aare itni jaldi chale jaoge?" Randhir asked surprisingly.
"Haan tumne itna zor diya iss liye aaya tha but abhi mujhe chalna chahiye, goodnight." And Samar left from there.
* * * * * * * * *
"Aur kitna niche giroge tum Randhir?" Sanyukta charged Randhir as soon as he entered their room. She asked him while holding his collar.
"Ab maine kya kiya wifey?" Randhir asked innocently.
"Samar ko aaj party mein tumne hi bulaya tha na?" She tightened her grip on his collar.
"Haan, I thought you would be happy." He said with a smirk on his lips.
"I can't believe this Randhir!" Sanyukta said angrily.
"You should believe me wifey. I can do everything for your happiness baby. Kaisa laga apne aashiq se mil kar?" He winked at her.
"Just shut your bloody mouth Randhir." She glared at him.
"I mean tumhara ex fiancé." He grinned devilishly.
"How dare you invite him?" She glared at him.
"Aare only for you wifey! Tumne aaj subah kaha tha na ke tum mujhe apna pati nahi manti, mera koi haq nahi hai tum par, toh mujhe laga ke tum shayed pati hone ka saara haq apne aashiq ko dena chahti ho, iss liye maine use bulaya tha." He smirked at her.
"Ranndhirrr..." Sanyukta lost her cool to heard this and raised her hand but Randhir caught that instantly.
"Not again wifey, ek baar mujh par hath uthane ki anjam toh tum dekh hi chuki ho, toh dobara wohi galti karne ka sochna bhi mat." He jerked her away and left the room when she stood there alone.
FLASHBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Randhir was sitting in an empty classroom. The slap flashed in front of his eyes again and again. And he cleaned his jaw.
"Sanyukta Agarwal you will definitely pay for it, I'll make your life a living hell." He gritted his teeth.
"Randhir chhod na jane de, ladki hai." Yoyo said.
"Ladki hai toh kya, usne sabke samne Randhir ko chata mara hai, aise kaise chhod denge! Randhir tu bhi sabke samne use chata maar de, hisab barabar." Jiggy replied.
"Yeh toh bahut chhoti si saza hogi uske liye, main uss Sanyukta ko aaisa sabak sikhayunga ke wo saari zindagi yaad rakhegi. Kya kaha tha usne, she will pity that girl's luck who will marry me! Ab use pata chalega ke kaun kis pe taras khata hai! Waise bhi jis thappad mein awaaz nahi hota uska dard jyada hota hai." Randhir said, holding his anger in his fist.
"It seems you are ready with your plan baby!" Laila asked excitedly.
"You will see it soon Laila. The whole world will see it soon." Randhir said furiously and left from there.
The students were busy dolling up the college as it's their beloved one. Finally the college was all set for the party as it's Valentine's night.
In the evening the party started, all were enjoying themselves when Randhir entered the party. In a black jeans with white shirt and a black jacket over it he looked like a killer. All the girls were drooling over him but he was not interested in any one of them. Laila came and hugged Randhir to show her rights over him when all the girls felt jealous.
Just then Sanyukta entered the party. Randhir's face became stiff to see her, but he was surprised to see a young man with her.
"Who is that guy with her?" He asked his friends.
"Samar Mittal, Sanyukta's fiancé." Laila replied.
Sanyukta entered and her gaze fell on Randhir, she smirked at him and held Samar's forearm, when Randhir tightened his fist.
"I'll wipe that smile from your face, Sanyukta." Randhir said gritted his teeth.
"Are you ready with your plan?" Laila asked.
"Very much, it's just I want your help." Randhir said looking at Sanyukta, who was busy with Samar.
"Anytime baby." Laila replied with a grin.
The party went well when Laila came near Sanyukta and approached her.
"Hi, umm Sanyukta I need your help, can you come with me for a minute?" She asked in a honey coated voice.
"What kind of help?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.
"Umm...wo meri dress ki zip khul gayi hai, can you fix it please?" Laila pleaded.
"Yeah sure." Sanyukta replied.
"Ohh thank you babe." Laila smiled and Sanyukta came out from the party with Laila totally unaware of Randhir's evil plan.
